1
Prepare eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
2
Melt butter
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it foams and coats the pan.
3
Sauté fillings
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and ham to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the ham is warmed through.
4
Add eggs to pan
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
5
Add cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
6
Fold and finish
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the center is just set and the cheese is melted. Slide the omelette onto a plate.
7
Serve
Let the omelette rest for a moment, then serve hot. Optional: garnish with additional chopped herbs or a dash of hot sauce.
